>Thanks for proving my point. Surely, in the 21st century, this canard about religion being more hateful or violent than the alternative is so thoroughly debunked that we need not go through the motions again.<
Depends on how you term "religious views". If you take it as "beliefs concerning Deity", then you would be correct. However, I would argue that a new definition might be called for: "beliefs that have no foundation in provable fact". Using that, "religion" can be said to be responsible for most of the death and destruction of the 20th century (and the hatred currently spewed by the SJW crowd)
> I'm sorry those battles have been fought and the so cons lost, get over it.<
I wouldn't use that phrasing. I WOULD suggest that those issues need to be back-burnered a bit, or even used as political bargaining chips
ie: "You want gay marriage? Cool... Full Faith and Credit. But in return, and CCW is accepted anywhere in the country". "You want to abolish the death penalty? Ok... give us restrictions on abortion". you know... actual compromise...
